Amfortas, King of the Grail, went to fight Klingsor, who had applied to join the Order of the Grail and and even castrated himself in order to comply with their rigorous code of chastity. However the knights of the Grail rejected him, and he is now bent on destroying them. Kundry, who once laughed at Jesus on the cross and has since wandered restlessly from age to age, seduced the approaching Amfortas at Klingsor´s behest. Klingsor then seized the holy spear that pierced Jesus on the cross, the two relics of the Holy Grail are this spear and the cup from which Jesus drank at the last supper. With the spear, Klingsor´s inflicted a painful wound on Amfortas that can only be healed by the spear. However, the knights of the Grail must win back the spear before this can come to pass. Only a pure fool made wise through pity can accomplish this.
Parsifal appears in the Grail´s domain, where only those called to serve the Grail are allowed. Gurnemanz, a comrade in arms of Titurel, the first King of the Grail, therefore takes the young man who has run away from his mother to Amfortas´castle. He believes he may have found the pure fool in him. Parsifal watches as the suffering Amfortas begs to be relieved of the duty of uncovering the Grail, which will give new life not only to the knights of the Grail, but also to Amfortas himself. Amfortas wants only to die. However, he is obliged to submit and uncover the Grail. Parsifal remains silent, thus exasperating Gurnemanz, who sends him away. Parsifal comes to Klingsors realm, where he withstands the seductive charms of the flower girls. Only Kundry, forced to act by Klingsor, is able to hold him. However, when she kisses him, he suddenly understands what happened to Amfortas and pushes her away: he has become wise through pity. When Klingsor hurls the holy spear at him, he seizes it, causing Klingsors realm to collapse. He promises Kundry salvation. After arduous years of wandering, on Good Friday Parsifal again finds the Grails domain, where he meets Gurnemanz. Kundry is also present and is baptized by Parsifal. In the temple of the Grail, Parsifal heals Amfortas wound and becomes the new King of the Grail.

Lawrence J. Goodrich, Communications Director, (202) 523-3240, ext. 27
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, an independent government agency advising the executive branch and Congress, October 30 wrote Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, urging the Administration "to promote ... the idea of a future Afghan political system that practices religious tolerance and respects the basic human rights of all, including religious minorities and women."
The full text of the letter follows:
Dear Secretary Powell:
The members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom applaud your efforts to marshal support from the international community in our nation's campaign against terrorism. We are heartened by your statements that show a deep appreciation of the need to work with the international community following the current military campaign in Afghanistan "to create hopeful conditions within the country so that they (i.e., the Afghans) are not vulnerable to this kind of a threat again in the future." At the same time, we urge you, as we did President Bush in our letter to him of October 5, to continue to uphold, in all your efforts, our nation's firm commitment to protection of human rights, including religious freedom, for all.
The Commission believes strongly that the United States needs to be laying the groundwork now for a future Afghanistan that respects the rights of all persons, including the right to freedom of religion and belief, and strengthens elements of religious tolerance.
The U.S. cannot and indeed should not act alone in reconstructing a post-war Afghanistan. Without strong U.S. leadership to ensure the protection of religious freedom and tolerance, we fear that egregious persecution will soon again be the norm.
Many Afghans' experience of society, politics, and religion has been marred by the intolerant and harsh example of the Taliban who have violently coerced those under their control to follow a radically narrow interpretation of Islam in all aspects of life. Muslim Afghan women and girls have suffered in particular, at tremendous cost to the future of Afghan society.
Recognizing that the future form of Afghanistan's government is for the Afghans themselves to decide, the Commission urges the Administration to promote, in all of its programs for Afghanistan and contacts with the Afghans, with interested governments, and with the United Nations, the idea of a future Afghan political system that practices religious tolerance and respects the basic human rights of all, including religious minorities and women. Afghanistan's new political system should be committed to ensuring that religious belief and practice are based on conscience and personal values, rather than imposed by coercion and violence. It should uphold the international human rights norms guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the other international covenants to which Afghanistan is a party.
The Commission recognizes that political reconstruction in Afghanistan will be a tremendously complex and difficult task. We appreciate the fact that balanced ethnic representation has been publicly stressed by the Administration as a necessity for the stability of a post-Taliban government. But a commitment of such a future government to religious tolerance and pluralism, also central to stability, has not been so openly recognized as a U.S. policy priority. The Commission believes that it should be.
Thank you for considering the Commission's recommendations.
Michael K. Young
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to monitor the status of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief abroad, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international instruments, and to give independent policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State and the Congress.

Setting a clear goal and finding a way to measure progress toward that goal are critical to improving the human condition, Bill Gates writes in his fifth annual foundation letter with his wife, Melinda.
"Innovations in measurement are critical to finding new, effective ways to deliver these tools and services to the clinics, family farms and classrooms that need them," Gates writes.
In the face of constrained budgets around the world, he says, governments are demanding effectiveness in the programs they pay for. "To address these demands, we need better measurement tools to determine which approaches work and which do not."
Gates illustrates how measurement made a difference during the past year with three examples.
In Colorado, the Eagle County (where Vail is located) school district pioneered a new system to measure and promote teacher effectiveness.
Ethiopia, a poor country, pursued goals set by the United Nations, delivering better health services to the populace.
And in Nigeria, cell phones, satellites and cheap sensors enable data to be gathered and organized faster and more accurately in the campaign to eradicate polio.
"The process I have described—setting clear goals, picking the right approach, and then measuring results to get feedback and refine the approach continually—helps us to deliver tools and services to everybody who will benefit," Gates writes. "This innovation to reduce the delivery bottleneck is critical."
Gates concedes that any innovation—whether it's a new vaccine or an improved seed—can't have an impact unless it reaches the people who will benefit from it.
The letter contains Melinda Gates's description of the difficulties in developing a baseline for contraceptive use by women in 2012 in a project with partners in developing countries to provide family planning services.
Looking ahead for the next 15 years, Bill Gates worries about the possibility that sufficient funds needed to pay for health and development projects will not be able to be raised.
"Aid is critical," he writes. "It helps meet the basic needs of people in the poorest countries. It funds innovation—in the creation of new tools and services and in their delivery. Unfortunately, aid generosity is threatened by big deficits in almost all of the rich countries. Unless voters hear about the positive impact their generosity is having, they'll inevitably focus on issues closer to home."
Gates is also concerned about whether the world will align around a clear set of goals, such as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, which are set to expire in 2015.
The success of the original goals suggests considerable interest in expanding them to include a broader set of issues, he says. "But many of the potential new goals don't have unanimous support, and adding many new goals, or goals that are not easily measurable, may sap momentum."

Parker Theatre
32 Chester Pike,
1 person favorited this theater
The Parker Theatre was one of the two movie houses in Darby, Pennsylvania, operational during the mid-20th century. In 1941 it was operated by Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp.

Found this clipping of the Parker Opening Night
Chester Times, Chester, Pa
February 13, 1929
2100 Patrons thrilled by beauty of "The Parker" at Gala Opening
Darby's palatial million dollar playhouse, the Parker Theatre, located, at Chester Pike and Parker Ave (Today Known as MacDade Blvd) was formally dedicated with colorful ceremony last night in the presence of an audience of more than two thousand persons.
There was some delay in the raising of the curtain, due, the management announced, to the fact one of the officials from Harrisburg was late in arriving to make his final inspection of the building. However the delay was soon forgotten, for when the official had completed his task, the curtain arose upon one of the greatest shows that Darby had ever witnessed. Moses Goodwin, a representative of the theatre ownership, was master of ceremonies.
An impressive tableau, opened the ceremonies of the evening, with a hoary haired "Father Time", pronouncing the words of dedication from his throne. Then followed stirring music by the drum and bugle corps of the Albert Clinton Wunderlich Post, No. 65, American Legion, of Lansdowne, followed by the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the glee club of Darby High School, and Miss Lillian Lewis, a high school Junior, taking the part of the "Goddess of Liberty."
Following the tableau, Burgess Thomas M. Eastwood, of Darby, made a brief address, congratulating the management, and expressing pleasure at being able to witness, the consummation of a fine contribution to the life of the community.
District Attorney William J. MacCarter, Jr., followed Burgess Eastwood. He said:
"I congratulate the people of Darby who were instrumental in procuring Equity Theatres, Inc. to locate in their midst, bringing to the community the greatest thing Darby ever possessed, with the possible exception of the Darby Ram.
After Jack Rosenthal of Equity Theatres had been introduced and had extended words of greeting, the show began. There were two Vitaphone units, one of them George M. Cohan's "The Home Towners", Parker News Events., and a series of stage presentations.
The Dobsky Troupe of acrobats made the collective hair of the audience stand on end.
There was Earl Faber, that good fellow of the "hail fellow very well met type" who did his best to make everybody feel at home and succeeded. He was ably aided by Margie McIntyre, Dick Rich and his syncopated revelers brought some more merriment to the
evening. On the screen beside the feature picture there was a clever skit all about night clubs and night courts getting mixed up in a new kind of "legal cocktail," while news events completed the bill.
The modern artist dipped his brush lavishly into his richest and most exotic hues when he set about creating the cinematic, home that compares favorably with many of the larger
Temples of pastime in the Quaker City. All of the designs, so well loved by the up-to-date theatre maker, are to he found in the newest addition to the long list of amusement
homes owned and operated by the combination of Warner Brothers and Equity Theatres, Inc.
Rich wood panelings give a note of elegance and sit off the otherwise bizarre mode of decoration. A generous allotment of gold leaf sets off rich designs that border the paneling at the ceiling and base of the theater, while giant chandeliers also in the "flapper mode" of artistry, give forth a rainbow of light to soften and brighten the general color scheme of gold and rose carried out in the house.
It might have been "old home night†at the theater judging by the number of families that turned out to fill the 2100 seats, all on first floor of the theatre. Indeed, many of Darby's
Most prominent citizens were on the program of the evening or were invited guests to see the performance and hear the talking feature picture of the program.
William H. Lee was the architect of the Parker Theatre.
Thanks for that info— I am assuming this was where the Salvation Army in Darby is now located??
Incredible that something that lavish existed in this location. Such a shame it is still not in existance for the residents to enjoy.
Actually The Parker was located where the Walgreens stands today, after the theater closed part or all of the building was used as the Delco Catering Halls
Found a picture of the Parker Theater in 1942 here.
Box Office 27 Oct 1951 states that the Darby, formerly a Stanley Warner theater, has been turned into an ice skating rink
The Darby Theater and the Parker Theater were two different theaters located about a block apart, The Darby was destroyed by fire and the Wendy theater was built on it's site. The Parker Theater building was used as part of Delco Catering and Billiards until it was demolished between 2000-2004 to make way for the Walgreens which now occupies the site. I believe the Parker closed in the 50's.

Butterfly Protection - Every little bit helps
See conversation articles and whitepapers here
Terra Eclat emphasizes the butterflies' natural beauty in jewelry, reminding you every day to protect one of nature's most important pollinators
By using Non-Endangered butterflies in our jewelry, Terra Eclat aims to raise awareness of the issues affecting all habitiats, including butterfly habitats.
Butterflies are an integral part of our eco-system and are under threat due to habitat loss, air pollution and unpredictable seasonal change. They help with the pollination and seed dispersal of plants and crops. In addition, they are an essential part of the food chain for many species
The project is an alternative, sustainable income to rural communities, who in turn help to protect the butterfly's habitat. Every little bit helps. None of the butterflies we use are on the CITES list of protected animals.
Helping People & Communities
Our production is the primary income for 15 families, in 3 countries helping them and their communities. 80% of our collection is hand-made by the most incredible artisans from Bali, Indonesia, India & Nepal.
Fair Trade
Our workshops implement Fair trade practices; we provide local jobs, fair wages, and safe and progressive working conditions.
Yulita's Story: In 2011, we opened our first workshop in Bali, while searching the local area for talent, we met a husband and wife silversmith team. Coming from a poverty stricken region in jobless Java to find work.
Their living conditions were so upsetting; all they had was a single cardboard box containing everything they owned in a small rundown dark room, where they ate, worked and slept with their young daughter.
We employed them and to date, they manage our entire Bali Production in a purpose built workshop and have a restaurant business on the side. Positive Growth.

iPhone 5 Buyers, iOS 6 Users Don't Care About Maps Fiasco
For all the hue and cry they inspired, the shortcomings of Apple's new Maps app don't appear to have undercut interest in the iPhone 5. As we've noted here before, demand for the device continues to be high. Now comes word that issues with Maps aren't much of a factor for likely iPhone 5 buyers, or for those who already own the new phone, for that matter.
According to a September survey of 4,270 consumers conducted by market researcher ChangeWave, concerns about Apple's flawed mapping app haven't slowed demand for the iPhone 5 — at all, really. Some 19 percent of respondents said they were "very likely" to buy an iPhone 5, while 13 percent said they were "somewhat likely." And the percentage of those who said they were "very likely" was nearly double what it was for the iPhone 4S, which until the debut of the iPhone 5 was considered by ChangeWave to be the most successful smartphone release ever.
More importantly, survey respondents with devices running iOS 6 say that, for the most part, Maps hasn't been a major issue for them. Among those polled, just 3 percent said iOS 6 Maps are a "very big problem"; 6 percent said the issue is "somewhat of a problem"; and 90 percent reported "no problem at all."
Which is not to say that Apple's new Maps app wasn't an embarrassing misstep for the company — clearly, it was. It's just that it doesn't seem to matter much to consumers.
As ChangeWave's Paul Carton observed in his report on the firm's findings: "Despite the media attention surrounding both the Apple Maps issue and the Apple Lightning port issue, neither has had an impact on the massive numbers of buyers queuing up to buy the iPhone 5. Rather, the survey results show both issues hardly rank as bumps in the road."

new print & a quick DIY
Happy Friday! I am so glad the weekend is here. We got home from our trip very early Tuesday morning but I still don't feel like I'm back to normal. I'm hoping this weekend will help. I had no idea jet lag could last this long, so weird!
I'm excited to share this new photograph with you. I've been wanting some really great photography for a while but it's not the kind of thing you rush. I wanted to find something classic and sort of ambiguous, soft and without a lot of color. Just in time this new shop, The Print Atelier contacted me and I instantly connected to this piece from Oumayma B. Tanfous. I love the simple calm light and the shape of the black, brimmed hat. It's perfect!
The print also came nicely packaged in carboard and waxed paper with gloves (to prevent fingerprints) and a signed card by the artist with a bit of information about the print as well. They have several great photographs in their store, it's a great resource for beautiful photography prints.
And lastly, the quick DIY was inspired by some props I saw at a department store in Stockolm. I used a small phone book and ripped off the yellow pages and covers. Also, I had bought these black bungee cords from an army surplus store that I bought last Summer and it worked perfectly to wrap around and keep the rolled book from opening.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination against handicapped persons by organizations receiving federal assistance. Included in the regulation is the requirement that handicapped students be provided with a "free appropriate public education" (FAPE). These regulations require identification, evaluation, provision of appropriate service, and procedural safeguards in all public schools. Individuals who have been determined to be handicapped under Section 504 may or may not be disabled under special education (IDEA).
Section 504 services could apply to any school age child who has had a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity. Major life activities include walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, caring for oneself and performing manual tasks.
Parents who have concerns or questions regarding 504 services should contact their child's counselor or building principal.

Granola for a long car ride
Alex and I are going on vacation soon. Wait, let me say that again correctly. Alex and I are going on vacation soon!!!!! Soon is Monday. We're driving to Milwaukee to see my best friend, and camping along the way. We will eat Kopps burgers, go to thrift stores and flea markets, eat, take a billion photos (both film and digital! I bought another film camera) and have lots of fun.
Milwaukee is a long drive away from here. About a thousand miles long drive. In preparation for this drive, I have made granola. This granola is full of protein, good fats, fiber, omegas, energy, and delicious fruit. It's not too sweet. When I first tried it I wasn't sure I liked it, but then I kept eating and then almost couldn't stop. I packed a little bag to put in yogurt with some honey for breakfast tomorrow, but the rest is for the road.
This granola was an experiment. I tried some things I've never tried before. I added chia seeds before cooking the granola, which I was nervous about because I wasn't sure if they'd do their gel thing with the oil/honey liquid I poured over. I added protein powder so this granola will fill me up a little more, and faster. I've never baked with protein powder before, and was a little nervous. I know you could, some packages even say 'add to breads and cakes and pancakes!' but I wasn't sure. I added finely ground flaxseed at the end, with the fruits, so it wouldn't lose its omegas and the other good things flaxseeds contain besides fiber.
I added maca powder, because I love it so. Maca, if you've never heard of it, is a root that helps give you energy and balance hormones. It has a malty, distinct taste. I used coconut oil for half of the oil in the granola. Coconut oil is full of good fats. I used two kinds of nuts and three kinds of fruits. See?
Long car ride granola
4 c gluten free oats
1/2 c raw almonds, chopped
1/2 c raw pistachios, chopped
1/2 c raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 c coconut flakes
2 T chia seeds
2 T maca powder
3 T protein powder
3/4 t salt
1/2 c coconut oil
1/4 c olive oil
3/4 c honey
2 T finely ground flaxseed
1/2 c each dried strawberries, tart cherries, and apricots, chopped
Preheat oven to 300. Mix together everything except the oils, honey, flax and fruit. Warm up the coconut oil so it's liquid, then warm up the honey a little so it's runny. Mix them together, then mix in the olive oil. Pour over the oat mixture, then spread into two cookie sheets. Bake 20-30 minutes, stirring once or twice until lightly brown. Once the granola is out of the oven, sprinkle with flaxseed and stir in the fruits. Let cool fully, then eat! Yum.

MMMMMMMMMm That looks delicious!ReplyDelete
This sounds very much like a granola I'd have trouble saving until "later" in the car ride! I'd want to eat it all ASAP. Have a great trip!ReplyDelete
oooh- where do you get those dried strawberries? they look yummy.ReplyDelete
Jill - this looks great. And the thrift stores and flea markets are right up my alley! You'll have to come to Worcester one of these days. We'll go to Wild Willy's (great burger joint) and visit all the thrift stores in the area (we have some great ones)!ReplyDelete

Ever dream of flying a plane? Cruising China's Yangtze River? How about going on an archaeological dig? Or helping a needy child as a foster grandparent? People over 55 years old are making dreams like these come true every day through programs offered through various travel organizations.
Road Scholar programs cover a tremendous diversity of topics and locations. These programs are aimed at a variety of abilities. So whether you desire a lot of physical activity or need more downtime, you will be able to find an adventure that is right for you. Both the domestic and international programs delve into many aspects of culture, history, and nature, providing you with a rich experience. You will even be able to find budget-friendly programs to help you have an enriching vacation that will not break the bank.
If you are an inquisitive person, you can fulfill your love of learning at universities that offer educational programs for seniors. The Osher Lifeling Learning Institute at the University of Nevada for example, offers an outreach program where you can take courses in art, finance, music, religion, history, as well as many other subjects. Check out the colleges and universities in your area to find out if they too offer similar programs for older adults.
Seniors are flocking to travel tours with learning opportunities sponsored by companies that cater to the needs of mature adults. Several travel agencies aim to provide high-quality programs in destinations around the world. For example, on one vacation you can participate in a lecture series while cruising along the Rhine and Danube Rivers, take a guided walking tour of Amsterdam with an expert, and attend a classical concert in Vienna. If you want to explore your spiritual side, you can take a faith-based trip to a holy place that inspires you.
Do you want to learn and grow by helping others? Retirement is the ideal time to perform volunteer activities that you may have neglected because you were working full-time and raising a family. Organizations like Senior Corps (Corporation for National & Community Service) sponsor programs that enable participants to make a difference. You can become a foster grandparent, help other seniors with day-to-day living, or get involved with community projects.
For those of you who fear that retirement means a life of early bird specials and lounge chairs by the pool, think again. Life is too short to miss out on opportunities that may enrich your life.

Trelleborg has announced that the third stop on its 2015 European Road Show will be held in Melk, Austria on August 2.
Lorenzo Ciferri, Marketing Director, Agricultural and Forestry Tyres at Trelleborg Wheel Systems, commented: "Building on the success of the first two stops on the 2015 European Road Show in Parma, Italy and Borgeby, Sweden, we thoroughly look forward to the third stop of our Road Show in Austria."
The one-day event will provide a Trelleborg field demonstration designed to showcase the importance of selecting the optimal tyre inflation pressure for specific farming operations, as recommended using the Trelleborg Load Calculator. To do so, two Fendt 828 tractors, each fitted with a cultivator combination, Regent Tukan MSG 500-2, and Trelleborg's TM1000 High Power at different inflation pressures, will compete over a 200 meter track.
Trelleborg will demonstrate that using the right pressure farming professionals can save up to €1,419 when working 200 hectares, reducing operating time by as much as 17% and decreasing variable costs such as fuel and maintenance costs by more than 17%.
At the show, Trelleborg will also be the official partner of leading tractor manufacturer Fendt's presentation of its new VarioGrip, a new integrated tyre pressure regulation system. As a result, visitors will have the opportunity to test the new VarioGrip on Trelleborg TM1000 High Power tyres.
Trials will demonstrate that the right pressure not only saves fuel, but also increases pulling power and therefore the area coverage as well. With that said, a tyre with a wider footprint at a low inflation pressure is more efficient as the tyre lugs work more effectively while respecting the soil.
"Whether farming professionals want to enhance their operations or protect the future of their business, the 2015 Trelleborg European Road Show 2015 provides the ideal platform to do exactly that," added Ciferri.
The innovative tread design of Trelleborg's TM1000 High Power, which is designed using its BlueTyreTM technology, maximizes the tread width and ensures the widest footprint on the market at low pressure and an unbeatable floatation performance. This results in optimum pressure distribution on the ground to boost crop yield, while preserving soil from compaction and erosion.
Using Fendt's VarioGrip, farming professionals can adjust the inner tyre pressure as desired for field or road work from 0.6 to 2.5 bar using the Varioterminal. The tyre pressure regulation system adjusts tyre pressure fully automatically within a short amount of time, even while driving at maximum speed.
Trelleborg works closely with leading tractor manufacturers to develop complete solutions, to highlight how the right combination between the tractor and its wheel solution can maximize the investment and boost farming operations.

After months of speculation and delays, new 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs finally went on sale today—the last possible day for Apple to meet the "November" deadline it gave itself back in October. Apple CEO Tim Cook told investors during the company's most recent earnings call that iMac supplies would be "constrained... in a serious way" throughout the rest of this year, so we've spent the morning calling around to some Apple Stores to get an idea of what supply is like.
We called five New York and New Jersey-based Apple Stores, as well as Apple's flagship Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The company's store policy prevented representatives at any of the stores from giving us exact numbers, but both the Fifth Avenue store and one of the New Jersey stores reported that they had "more than a few" of both 21.5-inch iMacs in stock. The Fifth Avenue store, which is open 24 hours a day, had been selling the iMacs for several hours as of about 9:30am Eastern. The New Jersey-based store, however, said that while the iMacs were in stock, the store had not yet been "authorized" to sell them to customers, and they couldn't say when that would change.
None of the other stores we called had received their shipments of the new computers, though most of them said that they expected shipments to arrive at some unspecified time later today. "Everything's happening fast," one representative told Ars, before advising us to call back in a few hours.
As for the 27-inch models, we'll still be waiting for December, but according to both the representatives and the shipping estimates in Apple's online store, customers shouldn't have to wait until December 31 to get them: the larger-screened desktops are currently slated to begin shipping within two to three weeks, which means that some shoppers with a quick trigger finger may be able to get them before the holidays. If you don't need your 21.5-inch iMac today, Apple's online store currently shows a ship time of between one and three days.

Counterfeit bills show up at State Street store
Sunshine Daydream worker says man bought pipe with fake money
MADISON, Wis. — A State Street retail store told police seven counterfeit bills surfaced at the store Saturday.
Police said an employee at Sunshine Daydream, a retail outfit located at 619 State St., reported receiving seven fake $10 bills. The man told police he believed the counterfeit money was used by a customer two days prior to purchase a glass pipe and lighter.
The store said the person who paid with the fake money was a light brown or blonde-haired white man about 20 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed 160 pounds. According to the report, he was wearing a bandana on his head, a green coat and carried a backpack.
Police also said the fake bills had the same serial number: JG29413706.

Caprial PenceExtraordinary talent and passion, imagination, and commitment -- these are some of the words that begin to describe master chef Caprial Pence. Her fans know her as the celebrity chef and cookbook author, her weekly students as a cooking teacher, her restaurant guests as chef/proprietor and her family as wife and mother. Whatever the words, Caprial Pence has been knocking down doors in the culinary world since she was barely out of high school.
Born in Washington and raised in Portland, Caprial became interested in cooking at a young age, inspired by her maternal grandfather and her creative parents. In 1982 at the age of 19, Caprial arrived at the CIA ready to work and learn. She was one of just four women in her class. As fate would have it, she met fellow student John Pence. They soon discovered that they were opposite sides of the same coin - it turned out that John liked the administrative and business development aspects of the restaurant world - and they both had a similar love of bold flavors and simple food. Within a short time, Caprial knew that John was her soul mate, the love of her life and the perfect business partner.
John and Caprial married in 1984 and settled to Seattle, which was just beginning a culinary renaissance. Caprial soon became the poissonnier at Fullers at the Sheraton Hotel. Then fate stepped in a second time. One month after her promotion, the chef left and Caprial became the chef de cuisine at the age of 24. She began working with the small boutique farms, even though hotel management just didn't quite understand a farmer "showing up on their back doorstep with a single box of product."
In May 1988, Time Magazine heralded Caprial as "the latest star in town." She also earned the James Beard Award for Best Chef, Pacific Northwest 1990. She soon wrote the first of her many cookbooks, Caprial's Seasonal Kitchen, based on the seasonal cooking and orthwest ingredients that are a hallmark of her style. She also began teaching cooking classes at Fullers and was tapped as a guest chef for local television appearances. Caprial's Café debuted on the Learning Channel in 1994. The 65-episode series spawned a companion cookbook and still airs on the Discovery Channel internationally. The following year, the show moved to public television under the new name Caprial! Cooking for Friends, and has been airing for the past five years. The 2001 series brought John on board and was renamed Cooking with Caprial and John. With each new season, a new cookbook is also introduced, bringing Caprial's best-selling cookbooks to a total of seven. Caprial and John's first co-authored book, Caprial and John's Kitchen: Recipes for Cooking Together, the companion volume to their new show, hit shelves in June 2003.

Guillen fired as manager of last-place Marlins
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI (AP) – The lingering backlash caused by Ozzie Guillen's praise of Fidel Castro contributed to another Miami Marlins managerial shakeup Tuesday.
Guillen was fired after only one year with the team, undone by too many losses and one too many ill-advised remarks.
A promising season began to derail in April with his laudatory comments about Cuba's former leader. Six months later, the episode was a factor in the decision to fire Guillen, Marlins officials said.
"Let's face it. It was not a positive for the team; it was not a positive for Ozzie," president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. "It was a disappointment, no doubt about it."
A lousy team didn't help, either. The Marlins took high hopes into their new ballpark following an offseason spending spree but finished last in the NL East at 69-93, their worst record since 1999.
Miami's next manager will be the fifth for owner Jeffrey Loria since early 2010. The latest change comes even though Marlins still owe Guillen $7.5 million for the three years remaining on his contract.
"We all felt we had a pretty good ballclub coming out of spring training, and we just didn't play well," Beinfest said. "We all share in this. This is not a fun day for me, certainly not for Ozzie or Jeffrey or anybody involved. This is an organizational failure. But we felt like we needed to make this change so we could move forward."
There had speculation that Beinfest's job might also be in jeopardy, but he'll continue in his current role. The search for a new manager has just begun, he said.
"We could definitely use some stability in the dugout," said Beinfest, who has been with the Marlins since Loria bought the team in 2002. "We're looking for a winner. At times we've done a better job of identifying that individual. Other times we haven't. We're going to try to find the right guy this time."
On Twitter, Guillen said the firing left him with "my head held up high, real high."
"To the fans that support me and for those who are happy as well my love and respect to you," Guillen tweeted. "In life there are worse things and I have experienced them. I have lived through bad moments and I will get through this with support."
In spring training, Guillen touted his team as well balanced and ready to win. But a dismal June took the Marlins out of contention for good, and management dismantled the roster in July.
The season went sour from the start. Guillen's comments praising Castro in a magazine interview angered Cuban Americans, who make up a large segment of the Marlins' fan base. The Venezuelan manager apologized repeatedly at a news conference for his remarks, then began serving a five-game suspension only five games into his stay with the team.
"That was a very, very hard situation for me and the people around me," Guillen said in September. "It was maybe the worst thing I ever did."
Marlins officials believe the damage was lasting. They blame disappointing attendance at the new ballpark in part over lingering fan resentment about the Castro comments.
The decision to fire Guillen came on the eve of the World Series, nearly three weeks after the Marlins' final game, following a lengthy assessment of what went wrong this year.
"Everybody wanted to take a step back," Beinfest said. "It was really an organizational decision."
Guillen was returning Tuesday from a vacation in Spain and was informed of his dismissal by phone by Beinfest in a brief conversation.
Guillen left the Chicago White Sox a year ago after eight seasons. Some 24 hours later he sealed a four-year deal with the Marlins, where he was a third-base coach for the 2003 World Series championship team.
"I feel like I'm back home," he said at the time.
Loria traded two minor league players to obtain Guillen and gave him a team-record $10 million, four-year deal. But by June, the Marlins had fallen below .500 for good.
Despite the frustrations of losing, the talkative, opinionated, profane Guillen kept his cool for the most part, and he repeatedly accepted responsibility for the team's performance. Mindful of speculation his job might be in jeopardy, he said two weeks before the end of the season he was glad he rented a house in Miami rather than buying when he took the job.
"With the job I did this year, do you think I deserve to be back here?" Guillen said on the final day of the season. "Of course not. But I'm not the only one. … Let's start from the top. The front office failed, Ozzie failed, the coaching staff failed, the players failed, everybody failed."
In December, the Marlins signed All-Stars Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell to contracts worth a combined $191 million. But Bell was a bust as the closer, and the Marlins were plagued by poor hitting, especially in the clutch.
Bell was traded last week to Arizona.
In the Marlins' 20 seasons they have reached the postseason only twice, as wild-card teams in 1997 and 2003. Both times they won the World Series.
Under Loria they have usually been among baseball's thriftiest teams. With attendance and revenue falling short of projections this year, the spending binge of last offseason ago is unlikely to be repeated.
"We need to spend some time redefining ourselves in conjunction with a new manager," Beinfest said. "I can't tell you exactly what the Marlin way is today."

Editor's note: Over the next few days, First Read will be recapping the year in politics. Our first entry: what we consider the Top 10 political events of 2012.
1. "47 percent": A surreptitiously recorded video of Mitt Romney, released on Sept. 17 by Mother Jones, didn't lose the presidential contest for the Republicans. But it cemented the impression of Romney that the Obama campaign wanted to portray -- as a multi-millionaire whose business history and policies ignored average Americans.
Democratic pollster Fred Yang and Republican pollster Bill McInturff join The Daily Rundown to break down the latest NBC News/ WSJ poll, which shows a narrow gap between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. The poll also shows that Romney's comments about the 47 percent has hurt him in the race.
In the video, from a closed-door fundraiser in May, Romney tells wealthy donors that the "47 percent" of the country that doesn't pay income taxes, that is dependent on government, and that believes "they are victims" will vote for President Obama no matter what. He adds in the video: "My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Romney first responded that his comments were "not elegantly stated," and he later said they were "completely wrong." But the damage was done. The Obama campaign and its allies pounced on the "47 percent" comments in numerous TV ads (like here and here). In the end, according to the exit polls, 53 percent of voters said that Obama was more in touch with people like them than Romney was, and another 53 percent said Romney's policies would generally favor the rich. The irony: Romney won just 47 percent of the popular vote.
2. The Democratic convention: This year was another reminder that political conventions do matter in presidential contests. After the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C. -- which featured well-received speeches by First Lady Michelle Obama, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, former President Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama -- the Dem ticket got a noticeable bump in state and national polls. The convention also served as a turning point for Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, who delivered a primetime address. (Before the speech, Warren was trailing in most polls; afterward, she jumped into the lead.)
By comparison, Romney received little to no bump in the polls after the GOP convention in Tampa, Fla. Indeed, Romney's own acceptance speech was overshadowed by Clint Eastwood's impromptu -- and bizarre -- remarks to an empty chair (which he pretended to be Obama) on the convention's final night.
Clint Eastwood admitted his unscripted, 12-minute RNC speech on Aug. 30 was "very unorthodox," but he says he felt his message got across to the audience he was trying to reach. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
3. The Denver debate: After the convention season and after the "47 percent" video surfaced, Romney's presidential candidacy hung by a thread -- polls showed Obama pulling away and news reports uncovered turmoil within the Romney camp. But just about two weeks later, Romney would have his strongest moment of the presidential campaign. At the first presidential debate, in Denver on Oct. 3, Romney shined and Obama fell flat. Afterward, Romney began to gain on Obama in national and some state polls, and his campaign touted that it had the momentum in final weeks, even after Obama was viewed as the victor in the other two debates. But in the end, the Denver debate wasn't enough to erase Romney's rough summer and September.
NBC's Mark Murray discusses the implications of last night's debate in Denver, CO.
4. The Supreme Court's health-care decision: Here's a thought exercise: Imagine if the U.S. Supreme Court had struck down Obama's landmark health-care law. Such a ruling would have deprived the president of his signature domestic achievement, and would have allowed Romney to charge that Obama wasted his first year in office on an unconstitutional endeavor. It's impossible to know how the presidential election would have turned out after that hypothetical outcome, but it's safe to say that such a ruling probably wouldn't have helped Obama.
In the end, however, the Supreme Court upheld the health-care law by a narrow 5-4 majority on June 28. And the ruling served as a sort of turning point in the summer: Before, Obama's campaign was struggling (the news from the monthly jobs reports were disappointing, and Republicans pounced on Obama's "the private sector is doing fine" remarks). After, it was the Romney campaign that struggled (the scrutiny over Romney's tax returns and work at Bain Capital, plus the mixed reviews of his overseas trip to Europe and the Middle East).
5. Hurricane Sandy: Here's a second thought exercise: What if Hurricane Sandy had never pummeled the East Coast in late October and hadn't allowed the incumbent Obama to demonstrate presidential leadership or bipartisanship (with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie) after a natural disaster? While the hurricane probably wasn't a decisive event in the election -- Romney's momentum after the first debate was already waning -- it helped Obama. According to the exit polls, 42 percent said the president's response to Sandy was important in their vote, and Obama won those voters by a 68 percent-to-31 percent margin.
Larry Downing / Reuters
President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie talk with survivors of Hurricane Sandy in a community center while touring damaged areas in Brigantine, N.J, Oct. 31, 2012. Obama and Christie put aside partisan differences to visit storm-swamped parts of New Jersey together and oversee relief efforts after the devastation of the storm Sandy.
6. "Legitimate rape": If the "47 percent" tape cemented the impression of Romney as an out-of-touch multi-millionaire, then Rep. Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" remark put an exclamation mark on the Republican Party's struggles with female voters. In an interview on Aug. 19, Akin -- the GOP nominee in Missouri's Senate contest -- explained his opposition to abortion in cases of rape, saying that pregnancies by rape are rare. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
Akin went on to lose his race against endangered incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill. (Republicans also lost another winnable Senate race, in Indiana, after the GOP nominee made another controversial comment on rape.) And in the presidential contest, Obama won female voters by 11 percentage points, 55 percent to 44 percent.
Both Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, called Missouri Republican Senate frontrunner Todd Akin to express their disapproval at Akin's comment about 'legitimate rape' but Akin has said he will not quit the race. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
7. The Michigan primary: You might not remember it, but there was a time -- in February -- when it wasn't clear that Mitt Romney would be the GOP's presidential nominee. Back then, according to some polls, Romney was trailing Rick Santorum in the upcoming Feb. 28 Michigan primary. A loss in Romney's native state would have sent Republican leaders into a panic, and might have sparked a movement to draft another Republican into the race. In the end, however, Romney edged Santorum in Michigan by three percentage points, 41 percent to 38 percent, and he later went on to wrap up the GOP nomination.
8. The South Carolina primary: But there also was a time when it appeared that Romney would wrap up the nomination early. He won the Iowa caucuses by the narrowest of margins and then triumphed in New Hampshire's primary. A win in the next contest -- in South Carolina on Jan. 21 -- would have effectively ended the fight for the nomination and would have given Romney more months to prepare for a general-election fight against Obama.
But then came adversity for Romney: Newt Gingrich routed him in South Carolina's primary, and then it was determined that Santorum -- and not Romney -- had won in Iowa. Romney later regrouped in Florida and Michigan. But instead of the general election beginning in earnest in January or February, Romney didn't essentially clinch the GOP nomination until April, when Santorum suspended his campaign.
9. Benghazi: On Sept. 11, attacks were launched on the U.S. embassy in Cairo, Egypt and a consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Obama administration officials gave the impression that an anti-Muslim video sparked both attacks. (And Romney was criticized for firing off a statement blasting the embassy in Egypt for condemning the "efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.")
But as it was later determined, the Benghazi attack was a coordinated terrorist act, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. Under intense GOP criticism for initially linking the Benghazi attack to the anti-Muslim video, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice in December withdrew her name from consideration of being Obama's next secretary of state.
President Obama defends U.N. ambassador Susan Rice, as a possible replacement for Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, against criticism from Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham on the Benghazi attacks in Libya.
10. The Ryan pick: Not since John F. Kennedy tapped Lyndon Johnson to be his running mate in 1960 has a VP selected greatly impacted a presidential contest, at least in a positive way for the ticket. And that streak held true in 2012 after Romney picked Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan on Aug. 11 to be his VP sidekick -- Romney, after all, ended up losing Wisconsin by seven points, 53 percent to 46 percent. But the selection ended months of speculation about Romney's eventual choice, and it further elevated Ryan into the national spotlight.

Perhaps best of all, the gloves are designed using EverFresh materials. Available in 12-, 14, and 16-ounce sizes, the gloves offer the choice of a traditional lace-up design or a hook-and-loop Velcro strap for quick on and off. About Everlast Although the name Everlast is synonymous with boxing, the company actually started out as a swimwear manufacturer in the Bronx in 1910. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, 17-year-old Jacob Golomb grew dissatisfied with the flimsy swimsuits of the time, which barely lasted a season. In response, he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name "Everlast," and although the swimsuits did not last throughout history, the name did. In subsequent years, Golomb transformed his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more that 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. In 1919, Dempsey won the world heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb, and shortly afterward, Everlast became the boxing equipment headquarters throughout the world.

Install Agorastoken Mining Software: The future is Now – Ethereum
Thank you for visiting our website in your search for "Install Agorastoken Mining Software" online. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they take part in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be realized by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you're needed fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a fair investment strategy. This mining action validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you are attempting to do something prohibited, it isn't a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever.

In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might actually be dealt like a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say that sort of online money is not managed with a central bank system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal variety of items, this moneyis importance is dependant on market forces, enabling owners to trade over cryptocurrency trades. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it is worth noting the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the wages. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the method in which it is transacted. All transactions over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. Once you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything shortterm where your customers can dispute or desire a concessions, or employ unethical sleight of palm. In practice, most traders could be wise to work with a payment processor, because of the permanent nature of crypto currency orders, you have to make certain that protection is tricky. With any kind of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially gain access to your private recommendations and therefore grab your cash. Unfortunately, you probably will never get it back. It's vitally important for you really to adopt some excellent secure and safe practices when working with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from many of these bad events. When searching online forInstall Agorastoken Mining Software, there are many things to think of.

The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the correct location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses determine how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to understand how the procedure works in and of itself, but it is fundamentally crucial that you understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them now where Authorities and banks can simply select to print unlimited numbers (I am not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that may lead to company being unable to continue to run or to discontinue operation. You've probably noticed this many times where you generally distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not risky? What happens when the value failures? " So far, several POS devices presents free transformation of fiat, alleviating some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people will soon be reluctant to put up any. We need to find a method to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. Lots of people choose to use a money deflation, particularly those who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal solitude, for instance, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding.

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center is presenting the man The New York Times dubbed "the last leading man," the powerful baritone Brian Stokes Mitchell. In concert on Saturday July 2 at 8:30 p.m., Mitchell can also be seen on the big screen opposite Angela Bassett in the Tri Star comedy Jumping the Broom.
This is the third time in his career Mitchell has played Bassett's husband. The first time was in the 2002 Showtime movie Ruby's Bucket of Blood. This time he plays Greg Watson, father of the bride, in the film about two African American families, who live on opposite sides of the social spectrum, coming together for a wedding at the Watson Estate in Martha's Vineyard. The film, Jumping the Broom, opened on May 6, 2011 with a domestic box office take of $14 million on the first weekend out, placing it third on the box office list of top grossing films. The movie has continued to do well, grossing almost $37 million as of June 16, a tidy little sum for a film that cost only $6.6 million. [expand]
Speaking about his small part in the movie, Mitchell said "I am happy with the results. It was a great, fun company. The film shows the different views of weddings, particularly in the African American community. The groom is from a very wealthy family and the bride works in the post office. Weddings, like funerals, bring out the best and the worst in everyone."
The Tony Award-winning star has been invited to the White House and has performed for President Obama and President Clinton. However, he has been a leading man on Broadway since the early 1990s, winning his Tony Award for Kiss Me Kate in 2000. Speaking about that show, Mitchell said, "Sometimes you just get lucky. Michael Blakemore, the director, was perfect. The cast was perfect, the crew and creative team were perfect. We had such a good time and that was a wonderful experience."
Other acclaimed Broadway performances include Jelly's Last Jam (1992), Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993), Ragtime (1998), August Wilson's drama King Hedley II (2001) and Man of La Mancha (2002). He said, "Working on Ragtime was the most magical show I ever did, the experience bonds people."
He met his wife, Allyson Tucker, in 1990 on the last Broadway show David Merrick produced, Oh Kay. They were married in 1994, and they have a 7-year-old son Ellington. Mitchell has had a charmed life, a fact, he quickly admits; "I have been very fortunate. I am the luckiest actor in the world. I have been working in the profession since I was 17 years old without ever having to wait tables or tend bar."
He has also made a point of diversifying and to that end has performed in every area of the business imaginable—film, television, voice-overs, animated characters, theatre, recordings, and, more recently, concert work singing to audiences of 2,500 to 5,000 people at a time and even larger audiences in venues as high as 18,000. His concert work, he said, gives him "a chance to explore his connection to the audience and expand his repertoire." And two years ago, he even co-authored a children's book, Lights on Broadway.
Mitchell said, "The more you do, the more you work, and everything informs everything else." He has a passion for arranging music and doing orchestrations, which he said, affects his singing and "keeps the brain going. I love learning new things and challenging myself."
This past season, on returning to Broadway, Mitchell scored a Drama Desk Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in David Yazbek's Tony and Drama Desk-nominated musical Women of the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, based on the 1988 film of the same name. He played opposite Sherie Rene Scott, Laura Benanti, and Patti LuPone, some of Broadway's most dazzling leading ladies, whom he found "enchanting." The compact disc of the music from the show was just released last month.
Mitchell also has his own CD of mostly Broadway tunes called simply Brian Stokes Mitchell, which was released in 2006. He is currently preparing to do another CD, and his concert at Westhampton Beach "would be an opportunity to try out a number of selections from the new album for the first time and to see how audiences respond. I will be working with Tedd Firth—the most brilliant pianist I ever worked with," he said, "when we work together it's such a joy, like we are one brain."
Mitchell performed at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center two seasons ago on his first-ever visit to the Hamptons. This July 2 will mark his third trip to the East End playing in a venue that he said is "one of my favorite theaters to perform at – the audiences are smart and the theater is so intimate."

CALGARY — Some Canadian Winter Olympians have joined the fight against the planned development of the Jumbo Glacier Ski Resort near Invermere B.C.
The planned building of the $1-billion ski resort has caused a divide in the small community, where some people see it as a potential boon for the small town versus those who fear destruction of nearby wilderness, affecting grizzly bears.
A letter signed by Olympians Beckie Scott, Scott Niedermayer, Jon Montgomery, Kristina Groves, among others, was released on Thursday asking for people to recognize the "limits to development."
"It's unfortunate that the province has OK'd a remote real estate development tied to melting glaciers, smack in the heart of critically important grizzly bear range," the letter reads. "It makes no sense. This proposal isn't about skiing, it's about real estate."
B.C.'s Liberal government in March approved the resort project, which would build 1,400 condos and 23 lifts offering year-round skiing on a glacier.
There are still hurdles left for project approval, though, with the planned development in an unzoned area.
Robyn Duncan, Wildsight program manager for the Purcell Mountain Region, where Panorama and Jumbo are located, explained that no development can begin until the Regional District of East Kootenay agrees to rezone the land.
For years, the Invermere town council has opposed the project, yet the provincial government has the right through the Local Government Act to designate the area a resort municipality, appoint its own council and push the zoning through, according to Duncan.
Beckie Scott, who won cross-country skiing gold in 2002, lived in the area for five years and doesn't want the wilderness touched.
"We have to realize, as Canadians, that we have that opportunity," Scott said, now retired and a member of various Olympic committees. "So many places around the world have gone the way of destroying the habitat and leaving nothing for the natural world. We have a great responsibility to protect what we have and what's left.
"The world just doesn't need another ski resort. We have how countless ski resorts in the area that aren't even being sustained by the local population and the incoming population," she said. "It's not needed, it's not necessary and the environmental impact and degradation is far beyond what value it would merit."
The idea of year-round glacier skiing has been one of the main selling points for developers.
They have said in the past the Canadian Alpine Ski team has trained there in the summer months.
But their former coach, Helmut Spiegl, said the team was forced to stop training in July and August because the conditions made it impossible. The alpine team has not used the mountain since 2009, according to a spokesperson for the team.
"July and August was too warm and too slushy to do anything," Spiegl said, who also opposes the resort for its destruction of the glacier.
Instead, he said most teams have started to train in South America and New Zealand during the summer.
"I've skied on the glaciers in Europe also for the last almost 40 years," Spiegl said. "Over the last 15 years, their glaciers there deteriorated tremendously and many of the glacier resorts there have to shut to down at the high time of summer also."
He said he doesn't want to see it in Canada, too.

Two long-time advocates for corporate social responsibility were honored by the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility last night.
Ursuline Sister Valerie Heinonen and attorney Paul Neuhauser were the first recipients of the Legacy Award from the organization, which since 1971 as prodded large corporations to act in the best interests of local communities, the world's poor and the environment.
Sister Valerie, who was recently hospitalized, has been active in the corporate responsibility movement for 35 years when she joined the ICCR staff. After 20 years, which included a stint as interim executive director, she began serving as a consultant on corporate responsibility to her order, the Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk, the Dominican Sisters of Hope and the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.
In a 2005 New York Times article on her work, she was quoted saying that "part of what we are doing is planting seeds."
Neuhauser, a founding member of the ICCR, serves as its resident legal adviser. Professor emeritus in the University of Iowa's College of Law, Neuhauser has been the organization's principal contact with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
He has been called one of the "giants of shareholder activism" by Broc Romanek, editor of TheCorporateCounsel.net.
The awards were presented in New York during the organization's 40th anniversary celebration.

Investors still dumping stocks. But they love ETFs.August 16, 2012: 2:04 PM ET
Investors continued to bail out of U.S. stock mutual funds last week, despite a rally in the market fueled by an upbeat July jobs report and hopes that central bankers will soon step in to support financial markets.
Investors pulled $3.6 billion out of U.S. stock mutual funds during the week ended Aug. 8, according to Investment Company Institute. While the pace of outflows slowed considerably from the prior week, when investors yanked nearly $5.7 billion out of stock funds, it still marks the 25th week out of the last 27 that U.S. stock mutual funds have bled money.
In fact, since the beginning of the year, investors have pulled almost $67 billion from U.S. stock mutual funds. By comparison, these funds lost in the neighborhood of $40 billion during the first seven months of 2010 and 2011.
So where is all the money going?
Bond funds remain hot, according to Shelly Antoniewicz, senior economist at ICI. In total, bond mutual funds drew in $7.2 billion during the latest week. So far this year, bond funds have attracted more than $184 billion. In comparison, bond funds pulled in less than $80 billion during the first seven months of 2011.
Fear & Greed Index back in Extreme Greed territory
Hybrid funds, which invest in both stocks and bonds, have also been popular among investors, adding $800 million in the latest week and $33 billion so far in 2012.
"We've been seeing this pattern for quite a while, and there are demographic and secular factors in play," said Antoniewicz. She noted that as Baby Boomers get older and hit retirement age, they are shifting money from stocks to bonds, since they become more interested in preserving their capital instead of increasing it.
Moreover, there's a general decline in the willingness of investors to take risks across all age groups.
"We interpret that to mean that they're less willing to hold equities," said Antoniewicz. "That doesn't mean they're completely fleeing equity markets, but they are diversifying more, and paring back exposure to stocks."
But as investors flee stock mutual funds, they're also embracing exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, which allow investors to buy exposure to an index, commodity or a basket of assets. ETFs trade on an exchange just like stocks, and are also often cheaper and more tax friendly than traditional mutual funds. While the ETFs are only a tenth of the size of the mutual fund industry, ETFs have exploded in recent years and continue to grow at a rapid pace.

In July, ETF assets grew by $16.2 billion. So far this year, ETFs have lured in more than $88 billion, according to State Street Global Advisors, which is one of the largest managers of ETFs. Fixed income ETFs have pulled in nearly $34 billion while large-cap stock ETFs, like those that track the S&P 500, have pulled in $11 billion.
